Karamoja and Kara-Tunga Arts & Tours has been listed as number one among the top African destinations to visit in 2017 by Wanderlust Movement, a South African based blog inspiring South Africans to travel.
We’re excited to be endorsed by globetrotter Mike McCaffrey of Nomadic By Nature as best off the beaten track destination in Africa. In 2016 Mike took the year to road trip across Africa from Nairobi to Cape Town. He is constantly traveling for work, while working to travel, and has now visited over 70 countries, working in more than 20 of them. Therefore we are even more proud that of all countries he visited, Karamoja and Kara-Tunga Arts & Tours made an impact on him.
“Karamoja is best known for its past of violent cattle rustling and armed tribal resistance to strongmen like Idi Amin. However, the region has been stable for a couple years now, and is a wonderful destination for the intrepid traveler. The Karamojong live in big thatched villages, wear colorful hats, and are full of stories for their days as warriors.”
A team of Ugandan content makers travelled to northeastern Uganda and asked Kara-Tunga to host them in Karamoja sub-region and give them an authentic taste of Karimojong culture.
The Dutch publication of Lonely Planet Magazine has featured Karamoja as Travel Tip for Uganda. Read the short Dutch interview with Kara-Tunga founder Theo Vos. Click here for the English story.
A motorcycle tour through Karamoja is a truly off-the-beaten-path adventure on an authentic way. Although riding Boda Boda through the rough terrain is not for the fainted hearted, its’ an amazing way to discover a region that’s often ignored by most travellers.
